Featured Excursions: “Morning with the Masters” at Vienna Art History Museum and choice of Vienna - Imperial city highlights or Vienna’s music and composers.
DAY 5: Dürnstein Melk
Dürnstein is one of our favourite towns along the Danube, a lovely place to wander cobblestone lanes, browse quaint shops and maybe hike up to a ruined castle (with an intriguing tale all its own). You can also opt for a tasting or learn all about the world’s costliest spice from the Wachau Valley’s only saffron grower. Later, visit the 900-year-old Melk Abbey and its extraordinary baroque-style library. You have two ports of call in the incredibly scenic valley, Dürnstein and Melk, and an assortment of delightful ways to explore this lovely region. (B, L, D)

Mozart’s birthplace of Salzburg is nestled in a glorious alpine setting that sparkles like a winter wonderland. Linz may be best known for its famous Linzer torte, but it’s also a hotbed for the arts. See the sights with a local expert and visit a family at their farm in the countryside. Austria’s third-largest city, Linz boasts a long history of trading and textile manufacturing, but these days it is perhaps best known for its electronic arts and annual festival. (B, L, D)
Featured Excursions: Choice of full day Salzburg with Sound of Music, or Linz town and country: Linzertorte and cider farm visit.
